Overwatch Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • vampirechimp George (@vampirechimp) reported

    @Tendey101 @b0gur wait true actually!!! i feel like it’s mainly because of frustration with the state the game is in - like other live service games get constant updates and patches whereas people who are addicted to overwatch don’t get that so they go insane and start doing weird stuff

  • MaleniaTheVixen Sally Acorn (@MaleniaTheVixen) reported

    @CampYea @Daem0nChi3f @OGG1993 Exactly, I have never used GP, but if a game is a 100% online game i wont bother with a physical copy (Overwatch for example) but just because I don’t use GP doesn’t mean ill go about shaming people that want to use the service.

  • sinanisler Sinan  (@sinanisler) reported

    @DevilDemoko @PlayApex i think valve have the best system for cs: go valorant have good balance too but it happens same with apex time to time... overwatch literally died because of this issue :)

  • Darth_Torden DarthTorden (@Darth_Torden) reported

    @HeelsAreBetter That is the problem, now people are on overwatch for surprise returns. They’re gonna care less about any storyline and just watch for the shock value. That’s what happened to AEW, when they couldn’t do it every week ratings started to dwindle. HHH needs to keep it special

  • MessyMauve Azurehue22 | Author | (@MessyMauve) reported

    She got a lil apartment in the town over I forget what it's called, I think just Hanamura IDGAF Overwatch sucks. Anywys, Hanzo falls for her. So does Genji. Problem is, Hanzo is whom gained her eye. IDK why I went with "White woman gains Asian Mans affection" but I did.

  • BBUpdootz ActuallyCas (@BBUpdootz) reported

    It’s very uncomfy to be on this account when not only is Overwatch a dead game now but also it’s **** Blizzard forever so might be a lot of BB spam incoming to fix the algorithm here sorry about that!

  • shot_aces ShotAces (@shot_aces) reported

    @i3utu Bro I was thinking the same thing. My friends and brothers said they would “casually” compete in low-level Overwatch tournaments with me, but… Halo Infinite is too fun (despite all of its issues).

  • ellajodie_ ellajodie 🦡🦙 (@ellajodie_) reported

    Anyone else having issues finding a game on #Overwatch ?!?!

  • BIGBALLZ8675675 bigchezz2000000 (@BIGBALLZ8675675) reported

    @PlayOverwatch To need help with overwatch 2 login errors how do I fix it

  • MatrixShaman Nick (@MatrixShaman) reported

    Now it seems like Overwatch wants to give me the same problem as Apex and Destiny. I choose low graphics settings, but it doesn't look like my graphics are actually running at low settings, they look better. I have no idea if it's something with the games or my computer.

  • unhappyisdead emotrash (@unhappyisdead) reported

    Hyped for overwatch 2, maybe that's gonna give me that comp fix lmao

  • EevieTrigger The Eev (@EevieTrigger) reported

    I don't have any problem with dunkey himself but like people will treat his "game criticism" like gospel sometimes. I did not agree with a single point he made on overwatch 2 (which is fine) but so many people love to just puppet his opinions on games

  • vedatgurer vedatgurer (@vedatgurer) reported

    @jeremycorbyn @70sBachchan Inspection & overwatch failed.. now, the same corrupt, inept bureaucrats wants to manage service giants.. 👍🏼

  • BaggyNoodleArms Justin (@BaggyNoodleArms) reported

    @NoiseTankk Sorry if this has been said Talk to your isp! I used to have this exact issue where everything looked great but I would get kicked from overwatch comp all the time. Blizzard said it was not on their end. Had the tech come out 3 different times and finally it was fixed

  • nthnprshll nathan (@nthnprshll) reported

    can’t believe i payed for overwatch 2 demo and i haven’t been able to open the game for at least a month now. just gives me that darn login error. i heard it’s bc there is a lot of people logging in at one time but how can it last for this long? i can’t even open the game. tips?

  • I_AM_AEZiR ÆZiR (@I_AM_AEZiR) reported

    In retrospect, Overwatch's problems were so easy to fix, yet Blizzard's decisions to not at all fix it and instead alter the entire experience to get around it completely killed the game for me. That and what's been going on behind the scenes over there.

  • TLDRNewsUK TLDR News UK (@TLDRNewsUK) reported

    Activision Blizzard is ultimately the company behind the likes of the Call of Duty franchise, Crash Bandicoot, Overwatch, Diablo and Candy Crush. Microsoft wants to acquire them for 68.7 billion dollars - or 59.2 billion pounds.

  • OWJaeger jaeger (@OWJaeger) reported

    @DizianOW @Kanashii_OW Yeah mikeyy is a textbook of “problems that therapy can fix”, bro spent the last 5 years of his life getting OWL level at overwatch & clearly did not pick up on how to talk to women along the way.

  • Slayt3r__ Slayter (Living Arc) (@Slayt3r__) reported

    If I have to wait 20 minutes to play as a damage in Overwatch…. THERE IS A ******* PROBLEM SMH

  • Narsysus Lucius (@Narsysus) reported

    Just backfill the last 40s of an Overwatch match as Cassidy, walked in, got PotG, and then collected the free win. Someone in that match got scammed by a disconnect for sure.

  • zalfre2 brii (@zalfre2) reported

    lagging while playing overwatch makes me wanna kms

  • TekuVertWheeler AlexHeroShadow (@TekuVertWheeler) reported

    Y'all spend to much time on Overwatch you think the heros are broken no they're not broken just your brains one tip what i can give take care of gaming ik you hit your record on Sr or something else just go work with your family or friends it's more fun i also tired if you play

  • yeetstinct chris (@yeetstinct) reported

    @erenslilsimp gonna be broken when i am on overwatch 2 🥱

  • DetroitsReaper Detroits Reaper YT (@DetroitsReaper) reported

    @RS_Art2420 @geoffkeighley Yes if they keep doing it then yes but they are talking about cod specifically and nothing else. That's why there is so much questions around cod and cod only. They never bring up diablo, overwatch, crash, wow, or anything else lol so how would making that 1 game exclusive matter

  • luckierseven sam (@luckierseven) reported

    why is it that I lag so bad just on overwatch and nothing else...

  • YoshiHuo Yoshi (@YoshiHuo) reported

    What is the absolutely most broken, oppressive, frustrating, overpowered piece of **** character you’ve ever had to deal with in any video game? For me, it’s between Bayonetta in Smash 4, or Brigette in Overwatch (back when she launched) Runner up is pre-nerf UI Goku in DBFZ

  • RuinerDream Dream Ruiner (@RuinerDream) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Make you sure you don't talk in overwatch chat, blizz going crazy with perma ban these days! what a cheap way to deal with the real problem!

  • ProdigyXSpectre Aeman Zalis (@ProdigyXSpectre) reported

    Specialists are no longer one-per-squad, so you can now actually play any role freely. The balancing removes basically all traces of meta so easily that the Overwatch team should be ashamed that they couldn’t. Lis was broken on release, but they fixed her faster than usual.

  • UrParasocialSO Your Boyfriend (@UrParasocialSO) reported

    this is the **** i think about since i won at overwatch and never feel like playing anymore. I had an 80% win rate. When you get there you move on to harder problems.

  • FuuTop1 Javy - @ Soul Hackers 2 (@FuuTop1) reported

    @mars200040 I played Crash and Spyro trilogies but it had nothing to do with Activision since they didnt make the originals anyway. I literally spent a gen avoiding call of duty and only buying Overwatch day 1 and A Destiny bundle of like $10 when they LEFT activision.
